These fluffy Greek yogurt pancakes are packed with protein and perfect for busy mornings. They combine the tang of Greek yogurt with a soft, cloud-like texture and a protein boost for a satisfying, guilt-free breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (245 g) plain Greek yogurt, full-fat or 2%
  • 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) milk, dairy or dairy-free
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • ¼ cup (30 g) vanilla or unflavored whey protein powder or pea protein

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup sifted all-purpose flour, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ cup protein powder. Whisk together until evenly blended, about 2 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup Greek yogurt, 2 large eggs (room temperature), ¼ cup milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup if using. Mix until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Gently fold using a spatula just until combined. The batter should be thick but spoonable. Add a splash of milk if too thick.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat for 3-4 minutes. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
  5. Scoop about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set. Flip carefully and cook for another 2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  6. Serve pancakes warm, stacked with your favorite toppings.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs and dairy for best results. Fold batter gently to avoid tough pancakes. Let batter rest 5 minutes before cooking. Medium heat works best to avoid burning. Protein powder keeps pancakes moist when combined with yogurt. For gluten-free, substitute almond flour or gluten-free baking mix. Vegan adaptations include flax eggs and coconut yogurt with extra baking powder.
